Is there a way to increase just Drones sound effects to hear them from far away no need to zoom in.

Not that I know of.
It does bring to mind the question, in a real space ship you wold not hear your drones either so what difference does it make?

Clearly you don't know much about sound. You probably hear drones and even explosions and so on.
Get your facts straight how sound works.

It depends on the propulsion they use and the damage they do.
What amo they are using.

I'm curious about this.

Sound requires molecules to vibrate in order to travel... correct? In order for sound to travel, the average distance between the molecules would have to be less than the wavelength of the sound wave.

Space does have molecules in it... but they are VERY far apart. It would take sounds with VERY long wavelengths to travel through space.... that being sounds that are VERY low pitches.... well below what the human ear can detect.

So... why would you expect to be able to hear drones with vacuum between them and your ship?

You answered your question already. ;)
Just ceep in mind what explosion usually are.
(rapid expanding gases)
The same goes for the propulsion.
And they are more then likely also hading your direction and particles will hit your sound recording devices
And your hull

Hmm. In an atmosphere you hear the explosion without being "hit" by the explosion because the sound (vibration) gets transmitted between molecules in the air.

You aren't "feeling" the gasses explosively decompressing... you're feeling the air molecules vibrating.

I don't think an explosion of gas in space would actually have a sound transmitted through the gasses that were released... or rather the sound wave would likely outpace the gases and dissipate in space due to having too short a wavelength to be transmitted by the few dust particles. The force of the explosion might reach your ship later than sound would have if there were an atmosphere... and you might hear your hull make noises from absorbing the force. But I don't THINK there would be a 'boom' unless my understanding of atmospheric physics is flawed.

I'm not trying to start an argument or anything... you just claimed something that goes against how I understand physics and I want to understand it.

Actually the atmosphere you are talking about is temporary created by the explosion.
It doesn't Metter if the atmosphere is breathable air or any other gas.
Sure you won't hear it indefinite far away but the range you hear depends on how big the explosion is.
And the gases involved.
You can't hear me knocking on the other capsules shell.
But there are experiments out there proving the sound of a explosion in a near perfect vacuum

Im not 100% surre but I think esa recorded the sound hearable by human ears of a comment in space

I forgot to mention space is not empty in some parts.
I could imagine you could hear classical sound waves in gas clouds floating in space

In space no one can hear your drones scream...

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

You may not be able to hear your hammerheads but you can her Rogue Drones. They have a drowning in water sound effect.

Eve Minions is recruiting.

This is the law of ship progression!

Is there sound in space rather simplistic but it covers the basics of this.

Some current researchers seem to think sound can leap across the vacuum of space. However there are other researchers that would point out that in the specific case listed in this link the "sound" is not transmitted directly, what is really happening is the crystal on one end converts the sound waves into electrical impulses that pass through the vacuum and are then converted back into sound by the crystal at the receiving end. Essentially what this link explains is the process used by radio.

Explosions are an interesting conundrum to deal with in regards to the transmission of sound in space.
Here is an interesting youtube video on a small scale test sound of explosions in space.
In essence you supposition is correct, as long as the density of the gases produced by the explosion was high enough you would be able to in essence hear sound. Explosions however are affected by the law of inverse square that states double the distance you decrease strength by a factor of 4 so CCP's deceased volume as distance increases holds pretty true to actual physics in this case.

I couldn't have said it better.
